The financial report included herein is designed to communicate fiscal activity based upon adopted and approved budget appropriations. No further action of a fiscal nature is requested as part of this report.
The total value of the warrant registers for March is $24,073,737.12.
BACKGROUND:
Finance staff prepares a variety of financial reports for the City Council and the Finance Subcommittee. A brief discussion of the attached reports follows.
DISCUSSION:
Schedule of Demands:
Every month staff prepares a comprehensive listing of all disbursements with staff certification that the expenditure transactions listed have been reviewed and are within budgeted appropriations.
Investment Portfolio:
Investment reports are provided to the Finance Subcommittee with summary reporting to City Council. The month-end portfolio includes a certification by the Finance Director that all investments comply with established Investment Policies (or with Finance Subcommittee approved exceptions) and there is sufficient liquidity to support projected expenditures.
Month End Financial Reports:
This package includes summary level financial information for the month ending March 31, 2025. This report marks the ninth month of fiscal year 2025 and reflects the adopted budget plus subsequent budget amendments approved by City Council. The report provides monthly and year-to-date activity for all funds and departments presenting a snapshot of budget performance. A report highlighting the performance of key revenue sources is also included.
Lastly, a summary of balance sheet accounts managed by the City is included to provide the balances as of March 31, 2025. Balance sheet accounts record funds collected from private parties for a specific use together with the various expenditures that result from associated projects and activities. This report shows a brief description of each account along with its purpose, month-end balance, and the managing department.
PUBLIC OUTREACH:
After analysis, staff determined that public outreach was not required for this issue.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The City has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is necessary.
